Horror's Greatest Hits

The Weird Truck

Every day around lunch time a big white truck comes and parks in front of my house, or between my house and my neighbor's. I just heard its engine idling and went to look. Yep, there it was, a bit late today, maybe because of inclement weather. I saw it was from Minnesota. Then, as it drove away, I saw it said US Mail on the back.

Why?

I'm not on the beaten path. The guy has to drive into a trailer court and go over a speed bump to get here. Only thing I can figure is that he's hopping on a neighbor's unencrypted network to check his email on an iPod or something.

Tracey Interesting, I'd be much more likely to go with an innocent explanation ... Maybe s/he's there because you're "not on the beaten path"? Might be somebody new to this tour who discovered your quiet little corner of the world as a perfect setting for her/his lunchbreak.

Anyway, it does make an interesting starting point for a story, doesn't it?

Hugs!
